USA, April 4, 2024
USAngling is proud to announce an exciting new sports team, Saltwater Kayak Fishing, to the USAngling program. USAngling has set up an USA Kayak Fishing Saltwater committee to select America’s best saltwater kayak fishing teams. These teams will represent the USA at the upcoming Costa Rica Pan American Championship in June and the World Championship in Spain this October. These are sanctioned events that will assist in the global effort to gain recognition for sport fishing by the International Olympic committee.

The committee currently consists of: Craig Storms – President, David Elgas – Vice President, Allen Sansano – Secretary, Annie Nagel – Communications Director, Adam Fisk – Team Coach, Robert Field – Gulf Coast Director and Joe Hector – Atlantic SE Director. This committee is establishing a program to build regional qualifiers, national championships, Pan Am events and a path for American athletes to compete in future Saltwater Kayak Fishing World Championships.

This sounds interesting.
I hate to bring up the whole motorized vs non-motorized issue but which way is this swinging?
Non-motorized sounds more like it fits Olympic ideals, but I think the current bass competitions are mostly motorized.

We don't set the rules on our own.  That's up to the organizers of the international events.  However, I have not seen a proposal for a motorized event.

Good deal!

I heard a rumor there's a catch and release element.  What's up with that?

All events we participate in will be C&R (or possibly in a C&R division).
